Third Symphony

Album by Aaron Copland & Aaron Copland & London Symphony Orchestra

Symphony No. 3 is the third symphony by American composer Aaron Copland, completed in 1946. The work blends elements of Americana and modernist orchestral writing, characterised by open textures, prominent brass and percussion writing, and a finale that integrates earlier fanfare material; it served as a culmination of Copland's wartime voice and signalled a transition toward a more restrained postwar style in his career.
